But, I don’t have time to write letters.

Do you not?  I challenge you to reconsider this thought.  Yes, life can be busy and fast and exhausting, but hidden within the constant shuffle are these little moments of stillness.

I write a lot of my letters during my lunch break.  It’s a nice way to allow my mind to temporarily disconnect from work and nourish itself with something new.  I can relax over lunch when I’m writing a letter.  It gives me a little time to contemplate what I’d really like to convey to my recipient — and to the world.

Postcards are another great way to overcome your “I don’t have the time” obstacle.  They are a defined space, limited to just a few words.  It’s not only something that can be done quickly, but it is also fun going through the process of saying a lot through saying very little.  And then, once sent, they’re like a splash of color traveling through a sea of white envelopes.

So, think you still don’t have time to write any lovely handwritten notes?  

My challenge to you today: find that 5-7 minutes that is hidden in between your hustle, and scribble one little note.  Put it in the post, and make someone’s day.
